Summary of the contracting process

Redditch Borough Council procured a housing removals service covering the movement, handling and storage of household goods. The requirement combines removals and relocation work with cargo handling, storage and retrieval, and transport agency services. The service is delivered in the United Kingdom. It is a public-sector service contract rather than a works or goods purchase. The requirement is relevant to removal companies, household relocation providers, storage operators and transport businesses able to manage council-related moves and associated storage. The selected supplier’s awarded work is described as storage and retrieval and relocation services, while the tender scope also includes cargo handling and transport agency activity.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold open competition. One lot was awarded to 3 Lions Transport, an SME. The award was active and the contract was signed on 24 August 2026. The awarded and contracted value is £140,000 excluding VAT and £168,000 including VAT. The lot’s stated contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2028; the signed contract records a period from 24 August 2026 to 9 August 2028. The tender deadline was 12 June 2026 at 10:00, with enquiries closing on 8 June 2026 at 17:00. Evaluation weighted quality and technical merit at 80% and price at 20%.

This procurement indicates that Redditch Borough Council uses an SME-capable supplier for housing removals, relocation and storage-related work. Businesses best placed for comparable council requirements will have practical experience moving household goods, handling possessions safely, arranging transport and providing secure storage with reliable retrieval. Competitors should be able to demonstrate both operational quality and technical competence, since these formed the dominant part of the evaluation, while still offering competitive pricing. Relevant providers include established removal and relocation firms, storage businesses with transport capability, and transport operators able to coordinate end-to-end moves. A credible service model would combine responsive logistics, careful handling, secure storage and dependable delivery across the United Kingdom.
